Lost Bell

lost bell 
still
rings
rings
still
 
a lost bell in a
choked forest 
seen air
air scene 
darkened mist
smoke folds past
a tarnished bell on a branch 
silence waits
out of order
a wish
grown to full bloom
a lost bell
 
still
rings
rings
still

a flower
never came too soon 
dreams
planted
in soil 
the old
sit and wonder why a
lost bell
 
still
rings
rings
still

clay plays in
a stone vase
painted with
purple sparkles and
fractured
near the top
a collection of weeds and
flowers
peek
over the side and
giggle
at an African violet in
a steel planter near
my Northern window where I can see a
lost bell that
 
still
rings
rings
still
